I'm trying to get Four Brothers, a Jimmy Guiffre tune, up to speed. Wall to wall eighth notes at a tempo of about 220 so it ain't easy, lots of arpeggios to be sweep picked.

I play the ones that I like, that have a lot of melodic material in them that I would want my improvisations to sound like. When I was in college I used to play thru a list twice this size every day, as a warm up. I've been doing it again, lately but with just these ones.
